Likes
I LOVE:
*How easy it is to read, view and understand things on it
*How easy it is to navigate, control and find things on it
*How long the unplugged battery power lasts (FOREVER)
*How audible the sound is (not low like my Windows laptop is)
*How easy it is to archive/move storage to the cloud in order to release files and recreate more space on device
*How solid, sturdy, sane and reliable it is (doesn't routinely crash and glitch up like my Google Android phone and tablets have)
*How well streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video, Youtube, Pluto TV and Tubi TV work on it

Dislikes
I HATE:
*How limited their Amazon appstore is (Aptoide is a good workaround-- until it stops working)
*How incompatible all of its compatible apps are with all and any .fadein documents
*How hard it is to find the "About This Device" basic system stats & info in the settings app
*How impossible it is to comfortably write a screenplay or novel on it (I'm only comfortable writing books and movie scripts on my laptop atm)
*How inconvenient price-comparing is on Amazon Silk browser due to the Amazon Store conflict of interest (the shopping filter on Google's search page is not present on Silk's, which isn't a big deal, but could get annoying for avid price-comparison checkers)
*How non-native/non-synced some of their Amazon apps are with their own tablet, including things like MTurk and KDP apps, which I find strange, as if they really have ZERO interest in catering to their own Amazon-self-employed entrepreneurs, which would only benefit Amazon and make Amazon look even better, but I digress.
*How no streaming apps (apks) from outside the appstore seem to work after awhile, if at all...

Suggestions
I suggest Amazon's app store get a whole lot more free apps, including KDP, Mturks, Fade In, Lime Player, and a bunch of others, to compete with GooglePlay, that the settings section gives us the basic about device data in 1 easy access location, and that they offer more device-friendly help to their authors and taskers in general, because catering to us as consumers is important, but catering to us as creators and contributors is also important. We all help keep the engine fueled and going! Otherwise, it's a pretty awesome device, and I adore how stress-free it is. It is by far the best tablet-only tablet I've ever had. :)

I have had my fire for some time, in fact it is about time to replace it.  Over all I really can't complain about it at all.  You do have to use the Amazon App shop which is pretty good but the app I need to read my school books is not on there and that is very frustrating!  
But it is like a Timex watch takes a beating and keeps on ticking!  It has been dropped, lost, stolen and I am still using it!  (obviously got it back)
I love all the free books available from Amazon and my local library!  I have watched movies, played games and written letters using my fire.  

Overall I have to recommend this device for the price!
